Voters Want Results

Heads-up to Connecticut politicians: The average citizen in this state does not care what party affiliation you have. What we care about is that you actually do something, and that you do it with forethought and integrity.

We need a balanced, reasonable budget. You can not run a household while incurring massive debt, and you can not run a state that way either.

Impose tolls on the major roadways. Nearly every other state has them. Most drivers use E-ZPass; it is a no-brainer for funding highway maintenance.

We need to find a way to help hundreds of victims of the foundation crisis in eastern Connecticut. If we can send a man to the moon, surely we can figure out a way to assist people in financing repair to their homes.

State employee unions need to make appropriate concessions. The days of plush pensions are over, as demonstrated by many other industries.

What most citizens want is a decent, affordable place to live with tolerable taxes, good schools and stable infrastructure. When we vote, we consider whether a politician actually did something positive for our state and not whether they supported their party line.
